Flowers from Heaven II

Eps. 59

The road arc remains while joining with Zahra. Actually Arka there is a feeling of annoyance to Zahra, why in this situation still had time-four feel jealous, but he already knew that the nature of women is jealous.

Arka and Zahra returned to Nisa's room, they passed by the people sitting in the waiting room. Khadijah saw the sight. His heart was pounding erratically, his still feeling for Arka made him uneasy to see the sight. Khadijah lowered his gaze, as if he did not want to see the sight.

Zahra has not been greeting anyone, Arka immediately invited Zahra to enter the room of his mother.

Inside Nisa directly held Arka's hand, her eyes were like holding back the water that would be hard pressed.

"Arka.." said Nisa in a soft voice

"Yes Ma'am." replied Arka while holding the hand of her mother who now right touch her face gently

"Mom was meeting Dad, I wanted to come with Dad, but you cried, made me stop Mom from coming with him, I was so worried about you.." nisa said with tears that she could no longer bear

Arka then hugged the body of her mother who was still weak helpless. Her tears poured out in her mother's arms.

Arka knew it was all under her mother's consciousness when she lost her heart rate.

"Arka promises Mom, Arka will take care of Mom, Arka will not leave Mom again.. Arka will continue to protect Mother as much as Arka can." said Arka with a cry that he could not bear

Zahra who saw the scene was unable to hold back her tears. She gently stroked her husband's back, trying to calm him down.

Nisa only wears a smile that looks forced on her tears. Nisa was very sad, her heart was eager to come with her husband, but on the other hand she felt sorry for this child.

*****

Shaina and Alif have returned to England, while Umi remains in Surabaya with Arka and Zahra.

Nisa is still in hospital, while Zahra's parents have returned home and are back on the move.

Zahra now lives with Arka at her parents' house. Arka was again preoccupied with his company, also with his mother who was still lying weak in the hospital.

Zahra was very understanding with her husband's busyness, Zahra often replaced Arka to pay attention to her mother-in-law, also take care of Oma who is now getting older.

Zahra is also now the one who regulates all the needs of the house, he is very busy.

Day changes, today is Saturday. Arka is usually already off in her work, and is focused on her family. The morning sun had greeted, Zahra who was busy from morning with taking care of Oma, helping Oma to take a bath, breakfast, then invite her to sunbathe.

Arka watches everything Zahra does in secret.

"Masya Allah my sholeha wife.. She would take great pains to take care of my Oma, my mother, even though she was never raised by my family.. He was willing to leave his family to be with me, rarely even to meet his parents" said Arka in his mind

Zahra saw a surprised Ark watching her from the door to the backyard, where Zahra was sunbathing with Oma. Zahra just put a sweet smile on her husband.

Oma looked at the two of them.

"Zahra, lately you are always busy taking care of Oma as well as Nisa, you must be tired right? And your husband you rarely serve." said Oma suddenly

"Serve your husband, spend time with him, let him be on holiday. Let Oma be with Ijah, and Rani will visit Nisa." Oma told Zahra

"Zahra is not tired of Oma, Zahra is happy to be able to take care of Oma as well as Mom.. Zahra and Mas Arka still have time for both" Zahra said gently

"Oma for a moment yes Zahra stay first, Zahra will see the kitchen for a while" said Zahra say goodbye to Oma

Oma simply nodded, with a sweet smile on her face. Zahra then walked inside, and passed.

As Zahra was about to enter the kitchen, she saw her husband lying on the sofa in the living room.

Zahra approached her, then came closer to her husband's face.

"Mas.it feels like I miss the time we both have." said Zahra slowly hoping Arka did not hear her words, while stroking her husband's face gently.

Zahra then walked to the kitchen, he wanted to write a list of groceries that should be purchased by Rani the housekeeper.

Arka actually heard Zahra's words, because actually Arka did not sleep, he just closed his eyes when he heard the sound of footsteps coming into the house.

"Your love.. Surely you are very tired of all this, may Allah reward you with the most beautiful paradise" said Arka while looking at Zahra who walked into the kitchen.

"Darling.." said Arka approaching Zahra in the kitchen

"Yes Mas, you are awake." said Zahra as she turned to her husband

"Yes Dear.. You're going to visit Mom?" ask Arka after looking at the lunch box

"Yes Mas, as usual I always miss home cooking, pity Mom eat hospital food continues" said Zahra while continuing to focus on the food supply

"Let's go together." said Arka inviting Zahra

Zahra and Arka then left together for the hospital. In the car, Zahra, who looks tired, tries to close her eyes until she falls asleep. What a sight that makes Arka sad to see Zahra.

"It's a shame you're so tired." said Arka slowly while staying focused on the streets

When Zahra woke up, her eyes suddenly opened.

Zahra and Arka walk in the hospital, and head straight for Nisa's room. While passing through a waiting room, Zahra was surprised by someone calling her name.

"Zahra.." he said with a joyful expression

Zahra and Arka immediately stopped their footsteps, and turned to the source of the voice.

"Pak Arfan." said Zahra back to greet him

"Assalamu'alaikum.." continued Zahra greeting to Arfan who turned out to be a friend of Zahra's teacher while teaching at the school first

"Goddessalam.. What are you guys doing here?" answer him and then directly ask

"I'm going to see my mother-in-law, because she's being treated here." Zahra replied quickly

Arka did not like it, because the man did not greet him at all.

"Well, why her mother-in-law? So you come here often?" again Arfan asked Zahra

"My mother-in-law had a plane crash back then, yes I come here every day. Sorry if you'll excuse me" Zahra replied, saying goodbye and leaving Arfan before she could answer

Zahra already knew her husband did not like because Arka was just silent, obviously from the look of her face she was very dislike of Arfan.

"If you were married to me, you wouldn't be so hard" suddenly Arfan said, not tight, but it was clear in Arka and Zahra's ears

Arka's face turned red, and she suddenly stopped her footsteps.

"I'm so angry with him!" said Arka in her inner

Zahra was so afraid of something unwanted happening, Zahra pulled Arka's hand to continue her way into Nisa's room.

Nisa has been allowed to go home, after lunch, Zahra cleaned all the belongings of her mother-in-law, as well as Arka she was busy taking care of the administration. Again in the administrative room Arka met with Arfan, obviously Arka did not want to say what else to talk to the man, Arka said, Arka looks ordinary he did not pay attention to Arfan who had noticed his appearance from the tip of the foot to the tip of the hair. After finishing his business, Arka then walked about to return to his mother's room, but suddenly his footsteps stopped.

"Wait!" said Arfan while holding Arka's hand

Arka immediately looked over with a very unfriendly face.

"You what?" ask Arka with a jutek

"You're Zahra's husband, I'm saying don't you hurt Zahra, or me." Arfan said a little threateningly

"Or what? you're gonna what?" asked Arka with a reddened face, emotions began to rise, Arka cut off Arfan's speech.

Arfan was speechless looking at Arka who was starting to get emotional.

"If you dare hurt him, I will take back Zahra! He deserves me better, not with a bule-like guy!" arfan said with his threat

Arka lazy to respond to the indistinct man, Arka immediately walked away leaving Arfan who was still talking. Zahra saw Arka and Arfan, her feelings began to be ungodly, she saw her husband, her face was reddened with emotion, Zahra immediately entered back into the room Nisa.

Arka who just came directly into the room of his mother, trying to calm his heart first, without showing his anger, Arka went inside and took Nisa and Zahra home.
